- From 1741-1775 the governor controlled the New Hampshire Judiciary. Under the Constitution of 1776 the Legislature appointed all judges, and the Superior Court heard appeals. The General Court exercised numerous judicial funcitons, and abuses occurred. Changes were sought in 1778, 1781, and 1782. In 1784 major change occurred; the new constitution established separation of powers, secured judicial independence, and ultimately permitted judicial review.
